I always liked the way those 80s BMWs looked, especially the E30.

BMW E28's are becoming a rare sight on Australian roads, the mid 80s 5-series are by these days a rather small car. Matt's E28 is now fitted with a E36 2.5L stroked and turbocharged six. We caught up with Matt at Pro Flow Fab recently for a run down on the setup.

Loving the diversity on FB. What a great street car. I'd love to drive something like that.

E28 beautiful hidden gem

That Bimmer is awesome. Worked on those when they were new. Just a very cool car. 👌👍🍺

That's a perfect build. Wouldn't change a thing on it. 400hp is the swt spot for power and will out live us all. 🤙💯

Is the reinforced dogleg 5 speed from the M635csi the same dimensions?

What a mint ride. I love the little details like the gear shift boot cover being tarten.

Hats off to this gentlemen, a superb build. I have always loved the BMW M635CSi, one of the great M cars of the 1980s. Remember Jim Richards ''Black Beauty'' BMW 635csi in John Player Special livery that competed in Australian Touring Cars in 1985. If money were no object, swap out the motor for a Barra Turbo and let the good times roll.

He's beat me to it. I've recently purchased an immaculate 2001 BMW 530i that has the M54 engine. I found a company in France that has turbo exhaust manifolds for this model and a company in Denmark that has two intercooler kits (large and small) for this model. I'll opt for the smaller kit as I will be running water/methanol injection and I'll be using the factory stock turbo that came off my territory. I'll let you know when I'm finished. Cheers.

I’m building an e28. Working on restoring it.

What fun car. Nice👌

It wasn't all that long ago I bought an E28 535i for £1000 GB. Now they're getting pretty expensive here so I had to go with an E34 535i instead. Mind you, it still cost £7K but is rust free after a body resto 2 years ago. I love the M30 six pot but it's pretty under powered by modern standards so a bit of boost is called for. I'm new to boost though so lots to learn and save up for! This E28 is just about perfect to my eyes. Nice work!

Lovely 😍

Stick with the original engine first, then later you can decide to engine swap it or not.

ZF 5 speed i believe is the same or very similar to the v160 so supra guys have raised the prices on them. Could find them for less than 1k now theyre 2-3k

@pazi88

2 жыл бұрын

Sounds pretty expensive 😅 Those are still like 300€ here in Finland. But you can get newer and stronger 6-speed for same price.. The gearbox has nothing similar with the v160 because one is getrag, one is ZF. But the ZF 5-speed is popular because it is much cheaper and can handle a lot of power.

This will give some decent machinery the wienerschnitzel in a straight line. Beautiful job all-round. 😘👌

That’s a great comment , BMW 6 cylinder engines always sounded better.

Been hunting for e28s and e34 for years now in Canada, can’t find one that isn’t either rusted out or completely destroyed by tasteless “mods” that aren’t worth dumping money into. Such a shame these era 5series were the prime

they are dino something without using any protection straps on the car

love the car and the content... but, 3.0L stroker m50 forged bottom and m54b30 cam with holset hx35 is the text book recipe for 450 wheel hp on like 10 psi pump gas stock ecu and remap even and un opened b25 would do that without batting an eye.. and yo running E98!! i dunno what just running "gate pressure" is ment to be at but if he wants it there is 700hp safe as houses on tap for him with this build. and to say holset isnt a great turbo is laughable, theyre one of the best and oldest turbo manufacturers in the world and nearly all current turbo tech you will find has been used in holsets from as far back as the 1950's. inb4 not a dig i love this video and the car, its just a shame to see any m50 making under 400hp that isnt running a tiny t28 size turbo for throttle response and car park drifts.

Because they are light as hell, weight makes a massive difference to how fast a car feels, also some people don't want higher hp, it ruins the lifespan and every day drivablility of the car.
